HUMANS FACTION In 2062, the colonial planet “Enigma” was invaded by an aggressive alien race. The fortifications of the planetary defense line turned out to be not effective against the powerful energy weapon used by the aliens. Soon, the biosphere of the planet felt the destructive power of their deadly attack, and a half of its surface turned into a lifeless desert. The miner colony garrison that was made up of volunteer soldiers suffered huge losses and was urgently evacuated. All resource extraction works on the planet were suspended, and corporations began to bear huge losses. But, after numerous antiwar protests, the government of the Colonial Republic did not want to risk human lives, and scientists had to create an entirely new army of intergalactic operations. The republican fleet and the assault battalion “Delta”, consisting of cyber-guards, heavy machinery and robotic drones-transformers was sent to the planet. The Commanders who have telepathic skills control that steel armada while being aboard the ARKS. For the purpose of their own safety, they are forbidden to leave the ARK. However, they can be directly involved in battles as operators for remotely controlling their COMBAT AVATARS (unmanned combat robotic vehicle). If any combat avatar gets a critical damage, it will be immediately evacuated and, after a quick repair, again will be sent to the battlefield. But, if the aliens are still able to destroy all the ARKS, the Colonial Republic will lose control of the planet forever.

(This conception allows to scientifically explain the process of revival of main characters, but demanded some changes in it’s style, so I made it more 'robotic'. I came up with a new term for main characters - COMBATAR (combat avatar). But, I'm really don't know how cool it sounds for native english speakers. Any other ideas regarding term for main characters?)

ALIEN FACTION Atroids are an aggressive non-material form of life from the parallel world that has gone into our universe through the hypothetical “Gates of Chaos”. These energy beings were forced to clothe themselves in the strong physical shells (exoskeletons), as they needed to have impact on the environment in our world. As a result, they created an army of alien droids which are capable to fight in any environment and at any temperature. They have powerful energy weapons and amazing capabilities. Their troops are the enclaves in which all units are interconnected by energy flows emanating from their nuclei. This allows them to exchange energy and regenerate. Their exoskeletons may be destroyed, but their energy nuclei are immortal. After the destruction of the droids physical shells, their “souls” revive soon in shells of new droids. Due to that, they are continuously evolving, using the experience gained in the battles. For tactical control of their enclaves, Atroids choose the most powerful Lords of their race. All other droids in the enclave are reproduced from them. If exoskeleton of one of the Lords is destroyed during the battle, Atroids immediately reproduce its exact copy in special spaceships - the ARKs. Analyzing their damages, they are continuously improving their physical shells and super capacities. This may continue indefinitely until all of the ARKs of the aliens are destroyed.
